I am here tonight. The hotel is clean and warm. Internet speed is better than most on ALCAN. I like this place so much more because they have a restaurant and a bar on site. I dont have to drive in -20 weather for anything at all. Love it. And the hostess was nice enough to borrow her copy of... More

Make reservations or arrive early if you can, they sell out quickly. Spent Saturday 14 July 2012 there in room 210. This was my second time through Haines Junction, and the first time at this hotel; if I come back through I'll definitely try to stay at the Alcan. Was impressed with the cleanliness of the room, the politeness and... More

Stayed just one night in August 2010 on my way from Haines, AK to Whitehorse, YT. Excellent room. It helped that I booked it (even though it was the same day in the morning from Haines over the phone) - other people came and tried to get a room in the evening but the place was full. Laundromat on-site is... More

We didn't have any of the difficulties I read about from others. We are a military family and were traveling from Texas to Alaska. We just needed a quiet place to sleep for the evening and the Alcan fit the bill. We were asked not to check in until 4, so we spent some time at the centre nearby and... More

This is an old highway motel. It's clean and warm and comfortable, and the restaurant next door is open late. Had a pretty nice, if overpriced, dinner at 10pm when we rolled into town.

Had the basic amenities and a comfy bed. The black out curtain didn't block out the top and bottom of the window, making it difficult to sleep in darkness. They offered an extra pillow and blanket, always nice! Conveniently located off the highway, it's easy to head out early if needed.

This is an old school typical highway motel. Why average rating? Well, what else are you expecting in a community of 800 people? The hotel is old and ugly, inside and outside, but it has a "OK" bed, free WiFi, a restaurant next door, a bar behind the hotel and an incredible view of the front range of the Kluane... More

Staff was heplful and it was quiet since we had very nice neighbours. The hotel has vry nice views of the mountains. There is a nice laundry facility and a small restaurant which... More

Food was so salty two bites in we couldn't eat it -- and I thought my companion and I could eat anything! No offers to re-make or adjust, even after the manager agreed it was inedible. We paid our bill and left -- hungry -- and angry....
